Hi. I have tried so many times to figure out how to get my Samsung ML-1610 printer working on my Intel Mac.

There are many quick explanations on the web of how to do this, but they don't seem to have all of the details... and as a non Unix guru, I've always had trouble making them work.

Ack. I just spent hours trying to actually get this working. I don't know why I try to be so clever. The instructions are posted below. The things is, all of the directions use OLD files, made for powerPC. I'm using a new Intel Mac, so I thought instead of following the direct links from instructions (to old files), I should find the up to date versions. NO LUCK with that.

You might also find it interesting to know that ESPGS (ESP Ghost Script) has been replaced by Gutenprint some time ago. It doesn't matter, don't go for Gutenprint. I tried that route, and had no end to my problems. I tried to build it from source and had errors, then installed it from a disk image only for it to 'work' but instead of printing my documents it would just fire up my printer and then not do anything.

Just install the old one from the page.

This worked on OS X 10.4.9 on an brand new Intel Imac on May 5 2007.

If you are more clever than me and got it working with newer software please tell me.

I was using a Hp Laserjet 4v. The hpjis-foomatic was working perfectly. However, someday it start acting funny. I got a Networking problem, and I thought it was my driver, so I download the last version hpjis 2.7. I realized that my problem was on my network, and I fixed it. However, the hpijs 2.7 does not worked in my computer, nor the hpijs 2.0.

Is there any other hpijs version that I am missing??

Can anyone help me?

I appreciate your comments, and I thank in advanced your input, and comments!

HiI ported the free Splix driver (which supports the ML1610 among a lot of other printers) to mac os x. I haven’t tested it on Tiger, but it should work too. You can download it at http://www.guigo.us/mac/splixFeedback is welcome! thanks

That Australian ML-1710 tip worked for me too! This one-step process is better than the three-step process, methinks. Took me longer though because this driver does not install with the name Samsung ML-1710; just ML1710. So look for it with the M's, not S's. Whew! I'm glad I didn't give up! Thanks y'all!
